2 -2- Asexual Reproduction of Spider Plant, Chlorophytum elatum, by Daylength Control P. Allen Hammer and Gregory Hoi ton Chlorophytum is normally propagated from the plantlets at the end of runners. We observed that plants under natural greenhouse conditions (Indianapolis, Indiana) produced many plantlets in the winter while few plantlets were produced in the summer. Trippi (1965) reported Chloro phytum runner production to be controlled by daylength (photoperiod). His work suggests our observation under commercial production may be related to daylength. We conducted the following study to explore the possibility of using daylength control to produce plantlets year-round. 2 Chlorophytum plantlets were cut from stock plants and potted in 3- inch clay pots on October 14, Eighteen 3-inch plants were trans planted, 3 plants per 7-inch pot on November 27, 1974 and nine 3-inch plants were transplanted to 5-inch pots on December 13, They were grown under natural daylengths (Indianapolis) until January 22, 1975, at which time they were shipped to Purdue and placed in a photoperiod study. Three 7-inch pots were then placed under 8 hour and 3 pots under 18 hour photoperiods. Nine 5-inch pots were placed under 8, 14, and 18 hour photoperiods (3 pots each). Long days were obtained by low intensity incandescent mum lighting. Data and photographs were taken on March 14, Table 1 and Figures 1 and 2 show plantlet formation under 8 hour daylengths while no plantlets are seen under 14 or 18 hour daylengths. Table 1.

5 -5- Discussion The present study shows short days (8 hour) stimulate the production of runners and plantlets on Chlorophytum. At present we would recom mend Chlorophytum be grown under short days for asexual propagation material. Our study also suggests long days (18 hours) may stimulate vegetative growth of the plants. Therefore, we are presently working on a production system using daylength (photoperiod) to maximize growth. It seems reasonable to assume we can increase the vegetative growth of small plants in winter by increased daylength (incandescent mum lighting) We are also studying the photoperiodic response of the small plantlets and conducting studies to determine the critical daylength for plantlet formation.

Phyton 22(2): If It's Not Good Enough For the Retail Shop - Dump It P. Allen Hammer All too often we hear the comment, "I can not sell this product to the retail shop, but I can get rid of it in a mass market outlet." Why do we as an industry of Professional Floriculturists take the attitude that the mass market is a dump for inferior quality. After visiting several local mass markets this Easter, I am convinced that it is necessary to improve product quality or the mass market, with its very large sell potential, will be lost. Many retail florists take the attitude that it is great for the "junk" to be sold in the mass market because it protects their image. But, selling plants to the consuming public that should have been dumped on the compost pile does not help anyone. Poor quality reflects upon the entire flower industry, whether the plant was purchased in the most elite retail florist shop or the cheapest of discount stores. One approach to the mass market is to sell less expensive products. Instead of a foil-wrapped, ribbon decorated, delivered 6-inch pot chrysan themum; a cash-and-carry 4-inch pot chrysanthemum may be appropriate, but both pot mums should be of equal plant quality. >_ With the number of people we are now training in horticulture around the nation, florists will soon be dealing with a better-educated consuming public. Look around at other industries that have tried to dump inferior products on the market. The consumer's dollar has been heard and it will continue to be heard - Loud and Clear!
6 -6- For those who say, "we must destroy the mass market before it destroys the retail florist," we can offer a suggestion. Maybe this ^ is a case of "it is better to join them than to take both markets down together". Everytime a consumer purchases a high quality flower, whether in a retail florist shop or a discount store, and receives satisfaction from that flower, they are more likely to make additional flower purchases. The next purchase may be in your retail florist shop. So, it is extremely important for the entire industry to be concerned with product quality and to protect the industry image. The mass market is not a dump, it can be a very important new market for flowers and plants. F]owers and Foliage Plants - Indiana Earl L. Park, H. L. Castle, and R. W. Cole1 Foliage Plants, Potted Chrysanthemums and Roses Advance But Other Sales Lower The wholesale value of all carnations, chrysanthemums, roses, gladioli, and foliage plants grown in Indiana in 1974 totaled $14.3 million dollars. This was ten per cent more than in Accounting for the increase were potted chrysanthemums, roses, and foliage plants. Wholesale prices per unit were lower for carnations, but otherwise were higher. Except for potted chrysanthemums and foliage plants, production was off from Increased production of minature carnations, potted chrysanthemums, roses, and foliage plants are expected in The number of standard carnation blooms sold in 1974 dropped 28 per cent from the previous year and is expected to decline another 20 per cent in Prices per bloom were 2.1 cents lower in 1974 than in Bunches of minature carnations sold increased in 1974, sale prices per bunch held at 1973 levels. but whole Wholesale value of sales of standard chrysanthemums declined ten per cent. Prices per bloom increased but blooms sold decreased 13 per cent. Pompon chrysanthemum production was per bunch was up from also lower but the average price Potted chrysanthemum sales were 15 per cent higher and with prices per pot up, the value of sales at wholesale increased by 30 per cent.
